Provo • It wasn’t easy leaving BYU in 2016. It also wasn’t easy coming back three years later.
But BYU graduate transfer Jake Toolson says he had to go through both trials to make himself whole. And he’s happy he did.
“I never wanted to be anywhere else — this is where I wanted to be,” Toolson said. “I think I needed to leave, though, so I could be everything that I wanted to be.”
Toolson, in his return to BYU, is averaging a team-high 15.3, 4 rebounds and 3.3 assists for the Cougars, who are off to a 3-1 start and visit Boise State on Wednesday.
